Arsenio Goes in on Kanye for Not Knowing the Facts and use of ‘Slaves’

This morning during a post-Grammy nominations press conference, attended by Arsenio Hall, who presented the Best New Artist nominees, the late night TV talk show host directed his attention to comments made by Kanye West during an interview on Hot 97′s “The Breakfast Club.” In that interview, West basically implied that Hall was forced off the air by white corporate bosses.

“I could use my voice but what’d happen if y’all don’t by no other albums? … People gonna say ‘Oh, he like Arsenio Hall and he was turning up too much and now you fired.’ But when you got money can’t nobody fire you,” Kanye said.

Well, Mr. Hall has a huge problem with Kanye’s comments. Hall says the fact is that he left his show voluntarily. Then the comedian/talkshow host went in on Yeezus for not knowing the facts and alluded to the rapper and fashion designer wannabe’s reference to slaves in a pop song.
